For what is worth, WhatLinksHere adds "(redirect page)". I'm not a designer, but I would say that you can't go too wrong using consistently the same approach. Also, the string is already available and translated.

I don't have any objections with redirects being in italics.
But i suggest to add other distinctive elements in DOM for redirects to make it possible to create userscripts which will check automatically all redirect items to make it easier to remove at once all redirects from wathclist.

Special:AllPages puts redirects in italics because they are not "real pages"; Special:WhatLinksHere because they are not true incoming links, but only a way for other pages to give incoming links; but edits are edits.

Column Prototype

This is a very early prototype of a persistent column. It is not expected to work yet, and leaving it open will activate other new features which will break things. Press "\" (backslash) on your keyboard to close it now.
